Here's the link to the DevGuide: Link If you have DesktopBuilder you can also right-click on the icon in the system tray and choose Developer's Guide from the menu. I have a WordDoc copy of it but I don't remember where I downloaded it from.

Need a little help here. I'm using an input box. I only want a numerical input. No letters. How do I make sure it only accepts numbers? Is this possible? Here's the script: Sub object_onscriptenter object.Text= object.PersistStorage("newtext") End Sub Sub Object_OnLbuttonup(x,y,dragged) Dim Input If Not dragged Then Input = InputBox("Enter seconds 1-5") If Input If Input > 0 Then object.PersistStorage("newtext")= Input Obje

It started with Windows Blinds….. "What? So, my personal style is NOT limited to the proverbial Windows blue, silver, and olive green?!? Show me the colors!!!" Bright colors, bold colors, dark and moody colors! Sleek styles, playful styles, professional, and trendy styles…. "Creative freedom at last! Take that Microsoft with your olive greens!" But wait, there’s more…. "You mean I can make cool skins too?! Show me the Skin Studio!!!" <img src="http

I know what you’re thinking: "Um, sViz, there’s actually a plug in for this." That's what I thought too, but it only works for my system time. The point of this tutorial is to make an analog clock that you can set ahead or behind of your system time. This tutorial is based on my ATW! Global Clock widget. It’s been streamlined. Let’s get started. For this you’ll need 4 objects. 1. hour_hand object 2. minute_hand object 3. second_hand object 4. clock_fac

I am currently trying to create my own customizable splash screen. When you first load up your computer or station a splash screen appears with a cool sequence of images, music, and messages. It's going at a snail's pace but if anyone else could accomplish it that'd be nice.

WHOA!! Those effects are awesome! The starburst is absolutely amazing! I had an idea for a widget that involved similar effects. Thought it was impossible or at least improbable but you sure changed my mind! Excellent, excellent work. Thanks for putting it out there.

Thanks for the comment SirS. I finally decided to try making some simple tutorials for a while. Just to share anything useful I learn. Very impressive script, rabidrobot. Also very well commented. Very cool that I only have to change the span variable when dealing with different sized slider bars. Works great!

Well, since I got a hue slider I figured why not a brightness and contrast slider? Things got a little trickier. But for you, all the work is done and I now present this tutorial. Again, the scripts are based on the DesktopX Develper’s Guide tutorial "Scrolling Content". Using the same 3 objects you created last time: test_object= default image and size slider_

The scripts are based on the DesktopX Developer’s Guide tutorial for "Scrolling Content". I’ve made some moderations. First we want to create 3 objects. 1. test_object- this is the object of which we will be changing the hue 2. slider_bar- self-explanitory, I think. 3. slider_button- where we will be putting the script <

Nice, very nice! Thanks for sharing that cool effect. You see, this is what I'm talking about. We need a board specially for tips and tricks.

Cool! Thanks for beta testing seldomseen. Also, I finally figured out why the buttons seemed to overshoot the main object. As I posted earlier, I was minusing from the bottom of the main object to keep them in position, but the buttons are 'child' objects so I should have been minusing from the height instead. I fixed that now. I also have one more major feature I'm adding to GlobalTime. So when I finish with that I'll be uploadi

Hmm, sounds very interesting, SirSmiley. I'll have to dig into that when I get done with my current project. Thanks for the info.

Whoops, forgot to declare the counter. Dim fact(3)'---An array with 3 variables (0, 1, 2) fact(0)= "This is fact 1" fact(1)= "This is fact 2" fact(2)= "This is fact 3" counter= 0 Sub object_OnScriptEnter object.settimer 1, 2000'-- two-second timer (can be adjusted) End Sub Sub object_OnTimer1 object.text = fact(counter) counter = counter + 1 if counter = Ubound(fact) t

Hi Jaramia. You could use an array to make a list of the facts. Then add a counter to a timer to select which fact to display. If you insert the example script below into a text object you'll see what I mean. Dim fact(3)'---An array with 3 variables (0, 1, 2) fact(0)= "This is fact 1" fact(1)= "This is fact 2" fact(2)= "This is fact 3" Sub object_OnScriptEnter object.settimer 1, 2000'-- two-second timer (can be adjusted) End Sub <br/

Thanks for the replies. I've tested the object on a computer that had the same security application as the one the user had problems with. There's no way to stop the security pop up from happening but I've modified the script so that it only causes a popup on start up. If you click 'allow entire script to run' then the pop up goes away and will not bother you again until the next time you load up the widget. If it's on a computer that's administered by someone else & th
